LV applies for summary judgment against ValueMax in alleged trademark infringement lawsuit
Summary judgement from the High Court will be heard on Jan 6
[SINGAPORE] Global luxury and fashion-goods company Louis Vuitton has applied for summary judgement for its lawsuit against a wholly owned subsidiary of mainboard-listed ValueMax Group over alleged trademark infringement and passing off.
Louis Vuitton, known popularly as LV, lodged a lawsuit in mid-September against ValueMax Retail, alleging that it was selling a gold charm, and offering for sale a pair of gold earrings that infringed its trademarks.
ValueMax Retail denied infringing LV’s trademarks or passing off, pointing out in its defence filed in October that the items under dispute had symbols that were neither identical nor similar to any of LV’s marks.
